About this listen

The Dark Kings are sworn to defend an ancient legacy of dragon magic. But their fiercest challenge lies in the modern world, where a woman's love conquers all. These are their stories. Dark Heat gathers together these favorite stories of Donna Grant's Dark Kings.

Dark Craving: Fueled by ancient magic-and enflamed by human desire - the Dragon King known as Hal can transform himself at will into one of the legendary winged creatures he is sworn to protect. But one thing he can never do is fall in love...with a mortal woman.

Night's Awakening: The dark immortal warriors were never meant to experience human desire. But when Guy, a member of an ancient order of shapeshifting warriors, meets Elena-a mere mortal whose beauty and blind ambition shakes him to his core - all bets are off...

Dawn's Desire: For centuries, the Dragon Kings have hidden their shapeshifting powers from the world. But when a mortal enemy threatens to expose them, the warrior Banan must leave his secret lair in the Highlands to risk his life for the dragons within-and resist the temptations of human love.

Passion's Claim: Banan has been waiting for centuries for someone like Jane. Guy knew it was love at first sight with Elena. Can two Dragon Kings commit to two immortal women for eternity? Or does fate have something else in store?

ok, but there are lots of holes in the story

I think I don't like novellas. the plotlines are too quick, the insta love is rapid, and the eternity is in a blink. I find everything is too quick. but I put that down to short story writing.
the 2nd book was the least of the believable. there were words in sentences that contradicted themselves, a slip-up that happens throughout the book.
Then, the trust issues in dragon H and human h were dreadful in the last story and just annoyed me.
the 3rd book had a bit of suspense, and I can see how this author can write a good book with more depth and length. I'm simply looking at these short stories as an interlude.
Con does a good job of being both the antagonist and protagonist, I'm not sure if I like him or not. however, it makes me want to listen to Cons story pushing his downfall.
this trope can be deep... like Ruby Dixon's dragons, but Donna's stories are considerably lighter, although with a longer plotline, it could be better.
the narrator does a good job of accents, but I don't think I can listen to him for the whole series ...its something I have to think about...

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
